He found his way to KAD through his goaltending coach, Dave Leggio. His wife's from Buffalo, so they're back here for the summer before he heads to Germany for the season. Peyton's résumé speaks for itself — standout career at Penn State, time in the Colorado Avalanche organization, and now playing pro in Augsburg. From our first session, two things stood out: his mindset and his athleticism. At his level, it's not about making him "stronger." It's about finding the specific stuff that actually shows up in the crease. We dug into hip mobility, deceleration, eccentric loading, and goalie-specific plyometrics — basically, his ability to absorb force, redirect it, and explode into position. What I've loved most is how aligned we are on training. Peyton wants to know the why behind everything, which let us go deep instead of running a generic program. At this level, that precision matters. Great summer working with him. Excited to see what he does with it back in Augsburg — I expect a big year, and I'm looking forward to staying part of his development.

But team training is built for the group, not the individual. Every athlete's different. Some need strength. Some need mobility, speed, power, or injury-specific work. In-season isn't about more work. It's the right stimulus at the right time, managed around practices, games, and recovery. The offseason is where we build hard. The season shouldn't be where we give it back. Athletes who separate themselves don't develop three months a year — they follow a structured, individualized process year-round. We don't stop developing when the season starts. We adjust and keep building.

This edition of Coach to Coach: Ashlea Jones, founder of Athletes in Training. Ashlea's from Oshawa, Ontario, and grew up an elite figure skater before turning that into a career developing hockey players. Her understanding of skating mechanics, edge work, and force production is as advanced as anyone I've worked with. We started working together about five years ago, when she began coaching Quentin Musty during his first season with the Sudbury Wolves, and it's grown into a real partnership since — connecting what our athletes do in the gym to what they need on the ice. No egos. We trade ideas, learn from each other, and keep the athlete's development as the priority. Every summer, Ashlea comes to Buffalo to work with our D1, junior, and pro athletes, in between running the Carolina Hurricanes Development Camp — and working with her has made me a better coach. What I've learned from her about skating mechanics has made me far more intentional about how strength, power, mobility, and acceleration in the gym transfer to the ice. Grateful for the partnership.
